I have been tracking the growth in numbers for Maryland, Virginia, DC, and West Virginia. A month ago VA had twice the numbers of DC, and MD had 3 times the DC numbers, and WV had none. Today, the 16th, (rounded) DC has 2,200, VA has 6,500, and MD has 10,000. So it looks as if the DC Mayor’s early shelter in place has helped keep the numbers down. WV now has over 700, and Puerto Rico (because my son lives there) has close to 1,000. In DC grocery shoppers are supposed to wear masks or scarves.
Thanks for that update on the VA/DC/MD/WV numbers. DC seems to also have a higher rate of recovery than nearly any other state. Any thoughts on that?
Weeeelllllll, maybe he shouldn't have gone back there. j/k
